"Give me paper and pen, I'll prove it to you." "Can you read?" Chen Guanlou was very curious. There were few scholars these days, so it was easy for scholars to find a way to make a living as long as they were willing to sacrifice their dignity. There was no need to put your head on your belt and worry all day. "I can't read." The second in command said confidently, "but I can draw." "Give him paper and pen." Chen Guanlou made a prompt decision. Lu Datou responded, quickly took out the four treasures of the study, and whispered, "Do you really believe him?" "Let's take a look first." The second in command held the brush in an extremely awkward position, and it didn't go smoothly. As expected, he had never read a book, and he didn't even know how to hold the brush. He simply held the brush like a knife and started to draw on the rough paper. Lu Datou didn't want to take the rice paper, so he used the rough paper to make up for it, and Chen Guanlou pretended not to see it. One little man, two little men, three little men... Lu Datou turned his head to look, "What is this painting?! It's unbearable to look at!"
Chen Guanlou looked nervous, staring at the second in command, the little man on the rough paper, as if he was facing a great enemy. No one knows those little men better than him. Since the fifth chapter of "The Record of Ascension", there are a few pictures. They can't be said to be exactly the same as the little men drawn by the second in command, but they must be carved from the same mold. "Enough!" The second in command put down his pen, relieved. "Where did you see all these?" "On the stone wall, there are many on the stone wall. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will tell you where the cave is." The second in command looked at Chen Guanlou eagerly. Chen Guanlou had a stern face, looking very serious, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever tried to practice martial arts by imitating these villains?" "Yes! The most talented one, after practicing by imitating these villains, bled from all seven orifices and died suddenly. Since then, no one dared to continue practicing." "Bullshit all day long." Lu Datou didn't believe a word of it. "Chentou, don't listen to his nonsense, he must be making it up." "I'm not talking nonsense, everything I said is true. Believe me, believe me." The second in command was anxious. He finally got a hope, and he must seize it. "Chentou, what I said is true, believe me. These villains are only a part. If you can practice with the formula on the stone wall, you will definitely avoid the fate of sudden death. It's a pity that we can't understand the formula above, and we don't have the talent for martial arts. I can tell you the address of the cave now, it's on the cliff behind the mountain." "Which cliff behind the mountain?" The second in command was silent. Lu Datou was furious, "Do you still want to go to the torture room?" Chen Guanlou raised his hand to stop the irritable Lu Datou, and asked the second in command softly, "What do you want me to do for you?" "Save Yin Si Niang." The second in command said anxiously. "Who is Yin Si Niang?" "She is my woman, she was also captured by the soldiers, I don't know where she is imprisoned. She was born in a good family, was captured in the mountains, and then followed me. She is pregnant, please save her. At least save the baby in her belly and leave me a descendant. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please!" Bang bang bang...
The second in command knocked his head on the floor, making a bang bang sound, and soon his forehead was broken and bleeding, and it was swollen. "Okay, stop knocking. Let me ask you, who are the people who know the secret book of the cave?" The second in command did not hide anything and said, "Most of the old people in the mountain know about this. But the soldiers killed too many people. The first in command died, and the third, fourth, and fifth in command died. The other old people are almost all dead. Now I am the only one who knows about this." Lu Datou nodded to Chen Guanlou, proving that what the second in command said was true. This group of bandits had already died when the soldiers were suppressing the bandits. They were put in jail, and died of serious injuries, wound infection, and torture. Two or three more died one after another. Now there are only a handful of people alive. The second in command is the one with the highest status among them, and the others are just lackeys, small soldiers who were dragged up the mountain. Chen Guanlou waved his hand and called Lu Datou to the side to talk, "What's the situation with Yin Si Niang now?" "Yin Si Niang is locked up in the women's prison and is indeed pregnant." "Has the verdict been handed down?" "It is estimated that she will be exiled or demoted to a slave. In the women's prison, unless the crime is extremely serious, there are basically no death row prisoners." This is true. Chen Guanlou has been in Tianlao for three years and has never seen a case of a female prisoner being sentenced to death. Usually, ugly people are exiled to the border, beautiful people are demoted to slaves, and sent to the palace to work hard in the laundry department. Yin Si Niang was captured by bandits on the mountain and taken into the room by the second in command. I think she looks pretty good. "How to deal with pregnant female prisoners?" Chen Guanlou really doesn't know much about this. As an old hand in Tianlao, Lu Datou knew everything. "When the child is born, if it is a girl, she will be a slave with her mother. If she is pretty, she may be sent to the Jiaofangsi. When the boy is a little older, he will be castrated and sent to the palace to serve." No wonder the second in command wants to save Yin Si Niang. Saving Yin Si Niang is saving his child. "Chentou, you won't really help him. This is not easy to do. No one can touch the female prisoners without the order from above." "I know my limits." Chen Guanlou thought for a while, returned to the prison door, and said, "Yin Si Niang will definitely not be saved." The second in command was first filled with despair. He looked at Chen Guanlou, and then hope ignited in his eyes. He said nervously, "I... I understand." "Do you have relatives? Is there anyone worthy of entrusting?" "Yes, yes... I was once an outer disciple of Tianmen Sect." After saying that, the second in command cried out, as if he remembered his youthful years, and seemed to regret it. Chen Guanlou had never heard of Tianmen Sect, and he asked Lu Datou with his eyes. Lu Datou chuckled, "It's a small sect, at the foot of Tianmen Mountain. It seems to have a base in the capital, and it opened a escort agency or a fighting agency. I don't know the details." "Escort agency, opened an escort agency!" The second in command added. Lu Datou suddenly became fierce, "You became a bandit, did you team up with Tianmen Sect to cheat customers' money? One escorts, the other robs, you cooperate well!" "No, absolutely not. You can check, we never rob the goods of Tianmen Sect escorts." "Then you specifically rob Tianmen Sect's competitors, right?" "No, no, no..." The second in command denied it this time, obviously revealing a little guilty. Lu Datou sneered, "I knew you were not honest and didn't explain it clearly. What benefits did Tianmen Sect give you that you worked so hard for them?"
"Nothing. I just followed the principles of being a human being. Tianmen Sect has done me a favor. I became a bandit and helped Tianmen Sect solve a few competitors. It was like repaying the kindness of Tianmen Sect in the past." "I didn't realize that you are still a grateful and nostalgic person." Lu Datou sneered. He didn't plan to report this situation. He was too lazy to cause trouble because he had been sentenced to death, and he didn't have any money to take. Go to blackmail Tianmen Sect? He is not crazy. He knows clearly which is more important, money or life. As a jailer, he does not deal with the underworld sects. This is the bottom line and the way to survive.
